I just had this same problem fixed. Turned out to be my right side cam, cam follower, and cap.

At only 30,000 miles? Have you been doing regular oil changes with Motorcraft 5W20 and Motorcraft filter or using other products? My 2008 is still as quiet as the day I got it - at 35000 miles. My 2004 on the other hand has 89000 miles and I just replaced the phasers and all timing components due to a broken phaser and leaking tensioner. The cams are still in pretty good shape.

cost me just under $1100 at the dealer, most mechanics wouldn't touch it due to the cams being "difficult" to work on.
